Dentistry Dilemma

So, after a meeting with my surgeon on December 7, I received an okay to go visit a dentist, to begin trying to figure out the extend of work I’ll require after my crash. So far as I can tell, I broke at least three of my undamaged teeth and cracked a molar crown in half. I’ve also probably shifted a bunch of stuff. My surgeon felt that there was a chance I’d require some orthodonture or bite correction jaw surgery.

So, I picked, almost at random, a dentist who practices in an office building about a third of a mile from my house. I explained things to his assistant and we set an appointment for me to visit the good doctor and get his prognosis.

Today, I got a call from same assistant. They have referred me to another dentist in Los Altos, about seven miles from my house. Once again, I have been told that my injuries are beyond the expertise of some doctor.

In an astonishing bit of on-the-ballness, the assistant of the new dentist called me out of the blue just a little while after the other dentist’s assistant gave me the word. So, I guess I’ll have a dental appointment a week from today, just two days before my Holiday Vacation.

Yay!
